Jackson's Ride the Gorge is a phenomenal route through the Columbia River Gorge. You'll be well supported every step of the way, ensuring you can take the time to enjoy the landscape, take pictures and relax along your ride.
Bring your camera for this breathtaking ride with sweeping views of the magnificent Columbia River.
We offer three route options with varying degrees of climbing and mileage. See the routes page for details.
Jackson's Ride the Gorge was founded in honor of Jackson Hill, a young boy with an admirable spirit who passed away from sarcoma. Read more about Jackson and sarcoma on the Cause Page.

Rest stops on Jackson's Ride the Gorge are well stocked with water, mechanical support, nutritional food, snacks and a basic first aid kit.
Rest stops close progressively throughout the ride, so please choose a route that you can comfortably accomplish with ample time to reach each rest stop before it closes. Rest stop closure times are available at the start line
.
Bring as much water as you and your bicycle can carry. Water is provided at the rest stops, but it could be a very hot day. We also suggest you bring electrolytes/hydration supplements.
A change of clothing and after-ride personal items may be stored at the start line. Bring these items in a sealed bag and drop them off at the INFORMATION tent.
